well, if there was any doubt of it before, my eggs are definitely all in the 91 basket now. It's going to be hilarious when 91's match comes up and the report says that if the other year wins, I literally get eliminated by everyone remaining in the guru.

You're guaranteed to score higher than the person you eliminated, but are guaranteed to get outscored by the person eliminating you.

Tried to come up with an example of a situation where someone eliminates and gets eliminated, this took me like over a fucking hour to think about because I'm stupid so hopefully it's not wrong.

Guy A has 40 points
Guy B has 20 points
Guy C has 25 points
Guy D has 45 points

Match 1 is between p and q, worth 20.
Match 2 is between x and y, worth 20 also.
They all have the same bracket the rest of the way except for these matches:
Guy A picked p and t (eliminated in a prior round)
Guy B picked q and x
Guy C picked q and t (eliminated in a prior round)
Guy D picked j (eliminated in a prior round) and t (eliminated in a prior round)

If p wins match 1,
Guy A has 40 + 20 = 60 points
Guy B has 20 points
Guy C has 25 points
Guy D has 45 points

A wins against B/C/D because the rest of his bracket is the same as C/D so C/D can't catch up, and even if x wins match 2, B will have 20 + 20 = 40 points, which can't catch A. But note that D also eliminates C because 45 > 25. So D eliminated C but also got eliminated by A at the same time.

Just to show that all are still alive prior to match 1...

If q wins match 1,
Guy A has 40 points
Guy B has 20 + 20 = 40 points
Guy C has 25 + 20 = 45 points
Guy D has 45 points

A is eliminated by C/D because the rest of his bracket is the same as theirs so he can't catch up. B/C/D still alive.

Now look at B/C/D's picks for match 2 (x vs y). If x wins, B eliminates C/D. If x loses, C/D eliminate B and finish in a tie.
